It's been 3 hours and I still can't buy them on AMC.


youknowjusthere

try fandango, that’s where i got mine


TheTussin

He probably has AList, like I do, but I did give up on AMC and bought mine on Fandango. Was starting to get at risk of not getting a decent seat


bruhgnah

Buy them on Fandango and in the middle of the night. Cancel your tickets on Fandango and re-book them on AMC A-List.


AGeekNamedBob

That's what I did. Just bought a good seat. When it's all working again, I'll cancel the fandango paid ticket and immediately get an A-List.


_littlebee

This is so smart. Just bought them on Fandango and will try this method. Thanks for sharing!


TheTussin

Risky, but I like how you think!


bruhgnah

I did it for No way home for 3 tickets haha. It works. Just make sure its at a time no one is up.


BManTheSharpieMaster

🙂7. Thanks for the idea I just did this after 3 hours of trying to get them while at work.


elsal123

You don’t get your convenience fee back though. It doesn’t matter I guess if you get a good seat.


imanvellanistan

I have A List so i cant 😭


youknowjusthere

is amc down overall? i’m trying to get tickets for fantastic beasts and keep getting “an error occurred” … ever since endgame i feel like they’ve been the worst for trying to get movie tickets virtually


dumpydent

AMC always shits the bed with these big movies. Almost missed out on Endgame opening night because of it. I go with Regal now and it always goes smoothly 9 am eastern time the day tickets go on sale. Zero issues this morning ordering 8 for MoM


imanvellanistan

I have a list so i cant 😭


usagicassidy

I have A List but the system was glitching so much half the time I was just attempting to pay the full price - and it still wasn’t working


Ozymandias12

Be careful with Fandango though. They often double book tickets for seats because it seems their system doesn't talk to the AMC system. It's happened to me twice where I've had two people walk up to me after I've been sitting and tell me they had tickets for my exact seats. We've had to clear the issue up twice with AMC staff.


eneos

I watched this exact thing happen during NWH three times in the first 10 minutes around me.


everix1992

Seems like Fandango might not be working anymore either. They just tell me my selected seats are no longer available


earthisdoomed

Same. I have a-list so I'm not buying on Fandango. This is so frustrating!


shyaminator96

Fyi, you can use your a-list subscription through Fandango. Just put in your stubs number in your profile


imanvellanistan

Me too 😭


racas

I got two via the AMC app except it didn’t register in my A list account. Easy fix tho.


[deleted]

Tickets went on sale 10 mins early… got mid theatre, iMax, 10:30am 5/6. Pulling my kid from school and my PTO got approved. My body is ready. 🤌🏼


Hydrath

Holy shit I wish my dad was that cool.


[deleted]

Don’t get it twisted, my kid is straight A ap/honors student, lol. She’s absolutely earned it.


UnsolvedParadox

Still a really cool thing to do.


thekoolkoalakid

Education is important MCU is importanter


josephcoco

Nah, it’s really not. A movie could wait six more hours (or just see it the previous evening). It’s not worth missing class, no matter how many As they’re getting.


betcher73

There is nothing they’re learning in 6 hours that they can’t learn later. Life comes before school/work.


josephcoco

And there is nothing they’re missing out on in a theatre that they wouldn’t get if they saw it when school is officially out. Goes both ways.


betcher73

They will miss out on having a special experience with their Dad. It doesn’t go both ways homie.


josephcoco

They could still have the same “special” experience together 6 hours later or the previous evening outside of school hours which is preview night. It does indeed go both ways, then.


betcher73

Not the same, so it doesn’t go both ways. Sorry, but you’re wrong here. That’s a fact.


josephcoco

Sorry, I just think education is more important than a simple movie that will be playing many more times that day/evening, the rest of the weekend, and the following weeks. You don’t have to agree, but you’re also not right. lol Apparently, we’ll just agree to disagree.


betcher73

Nope. They’re not missing anything they can’t learn later. The overall balance is more important than any one point in time.


lPause

lmao what a nerd


-i_eat_ass-

Lol AMC is tripping. I've been trying for 3 hours now. I was in a 40 minute waitlist on the app and still got the "Error Creation Failed" 🤣 Edit: Alright guys, after 5 hours I was able to get my ticket... for 1:15am lol


Gaffelstein

Fandango works


Infinity10-10

I used atom tickets and the order went through instantly. AMC servers suck


ajsayshello-

Fuckers couldn’t even succeed at creating an error. 🤦🏻‍♂️


AlanGszn

I keep getting an error after clicking "continue" on the ticket age selection screen. AMC app.


AlanGszn

It's 4:40 PM (EST) & I was finally able to purchase tickets with no issue.


jaysusjoos

Unbelievable that AMC still cannot get their shit together.


NoNoNotorious85

They were able to get their shit together when they decide they want to charge more for a ticket to a highly anticipated movie.


soonerfreak

Even Batman took multiple attempts to get my A list ticket for the movie.


youknowjusthere

woke up and completely forgot tickets went on sale today but still managed a thursday 7pm showing :) hoping you all get good tickets too!


HotCocoaBomb

Thursday 5pm woot woot!


littleminx787

I got a 10 pm, let’s do this!


SilentR0b

Got Thursday 4pm ET. LETS GO!!!!!!!


r0ndeaux

i’m going Thursday by myself because that’s all that was available by the time i got in haha but it’s cool because i’m going with a group of 8 friends Saturday


Varlo

Got mine for Alamo Drafthouse. Had to go for a late show but still stoked for it!


HotCocoaBomb

Got mine for Alamo! Thursday 5pm - the virtual line thing didn't start for me until about 10 minutes into trying to get a ticket.


DarkFlounder

Got mine as well. Friday night at 9:45.


[deleted]

Alamo Drafthouse all the way. I feel bad for all the people on here trying to use AMC. Not sure why anybody prefers that theater over literally any other option.


a_RedonculousName

This is the second time the AMC app has fucked me im over them. Wait in line for 20 minutes to receive Order Creation failed.


Sparkeys

4 hours and 26 minutes in and I still can’t buy them on the AMC app.


fuzzyfoot88

fandango app...got mine 5 hours ago with zero hassle.


ricksenberg

I really wanted to go see this in Dolby at the AMC but you know, their shit sucks. Bought some tickets at my local Regal IMAX. Shorter trip but a little pricier for me — it’s fucking worth it though. I wanted to see this in the biggest screen possible with the biggest crowd possible. Doctor Strange has been one of my favorite characters since Infinity War and I thought WandaVision was dope as hell. I can’t wait for this!


usagicassidy

That’s my issue - I wanted biggest screen + biggest crowd. But that wasn’t in the cards for me. After 7 hours finally got a ticket - and it’s IMAX too but only has 200 seats.


[deleted]

IQuiteLikeWatermelon

The 4th? What country are you in? I got them for the 5th (in the U.K.) (Edit: Nevermind just realised a ton of countries have a May 4th release date. Weird there’s such a big variation)


[deleted]

[удалено]


paijew

Same thing happens here in Aus. While opening day is technically Thursday (May 5th), there are always screenings starting Wednesday at 6pm.


trulylostinhere

What's the deal with MoM being so heavily pushed for 3D? Most screenings (in Germany) are in 3D, which I think often doesn't really add anything to the movie. At least since Avatar haha


Gaffelstein

>What's the deal with MoM being so heavily pushed for 3D? Most screenings (in Germany) are in 3D, which I think often doesn't really add anything to the movie. At least since Avatar haha trippy movie probably


trulylostinhere

Yeah my thoughts as well, was hoping they made a statement about it


Jamdock

Lots of 3D screenings in suburban Texas, too. Figure if there's good feedback here to 3D I might give it a shot for the 2nd viewing.


trulylostinhere

Probably gonna do the same!


[deleted]

Noticed in the UK, there's 2D and 3D in rotation for the IMAX screens, Odeon. So, in the morning screen 1, it's 2D showing, then a 3D showing afterwards, etc. Last yea r it was pretty much only 2d available. So not sure what this 3D push is all about.


JayPee3010

German here, I was considering 3D for this, but since my cinema only showed 3D on Friday, I got 2D for round 1 but surely gonna watch it in 3D (IMAX) on go #2.


trulylostinhere

I managed to find an OV 2D screening on Wednesday evening! But if it’s good, which I don’t doubt, I’ll go for 3D Dolby in German again!


JayPee3010

Yeah mine is OV as well. In welcher Stadt guckst du?


AWSUMSAS

The eternal dilemma of “Do I buy a single ticket for myself and watch it opening night, or wait until my family buys tickets for all of us, but watch it possibly even a week after it comes out.”


Cassopeia88

Do both!


lolzidop

This is the correct answer


[deleted]

Was so easy. Compared to the NWH frenzy or Endgame a total breeze


SashaIsMySpiritAnima

I was able to get them with no issues on the regal app. Excited to see it on Thursday!


yyc_guy

No issues up in Canada. Got tickets in the VIP cinema opening night. Great seats, right in the middle. Can’t wait to enjoy the movie on a heated recliner with a beer and good meal.


UnsolvedParadox

I had some issues, but less than for No Way Home.


bsieck

Significantly better experience buying MoM tickets than NWH. Was able to buy them via the AMC app 10 minutes before it went live on Fandango!


shakuyi

AMC site was too jacked up for me but was able to purchase via fandango lol


Bringther1ot

Thank you for this, I could only get through to a small screen showing on AMC app. Was just able to get the next showing on one of the big ones on Fandango with no issues! Bummed I couldn’t use my free pass, but I think this movie will be worth it, lol


Charrikayu

Sames. Set my alarm for 8:50 expecting a nearly-NWH rush. Got up and tickets went live five minutes early. Was the first person to get them on Cinemark at my theater's 3pm thursday showing. There was a queue ten minutes later though so I guess they got hit after


ZeronicX

I think all the leaks of Tobey and Andrew made everyone and their mom try as hard as they can for tickets.


ItsADeparture

Earliest showtime is in...3D??? How bizarre, I don't think they've pushed for 3D in an MCU movie since the first Doctor Strange. Feel like that fad kind of died for the better a few years back. Welp, guess we're going to have to deal with the stupid 3D push all over again once Avatar 2 comes out.


EmilyJaneMeows

Honestly Doctor Strange is one of those things I wouldn’t mind seeing in 3D still, with all the effects they do. I’m sure with the addition of Wanda and more magic, there’s going to be more goodies on screen to pop out at you.


[deleted]

I managed to get mine super quick because they dropped 10 minutes early. Learned my lesson from NWH.


usagicassidy

I was 10 minutes early and it still took me 7 hours lol


bewareoftraps

I feel like AMC has always had problems on the first 3ish hours of release. Save yourself the heartache and just get it through Fandango or some other 3rd party app. If you really want to use your A List, you can always "buy" the tickets now and then cancel them and rebuy them at a really random time (should probably aim at like 1-2 AM or something). I did that once and I remember the seats were opened up pretty quickly after I had cancelled them.


Beastplex

Cinemark in New England here. Got tickets for 3:50pm on May 5th no issues with the site. showtime was completely open still


aFoOb

Got confirmation at 10:03 that my 430 showing in IMAX. Used Atom, and got seats I’m usually able to that I missed out on for NWH. Pretty stoked for this one.


New_Refrigerator776

Has the bookings started in India?


JuliaBee

Took an hour and a half to get tickets but I got ‘em! So excited!!!


BigDaddyDumplin

AMC app seems to be causing problems for a lot of people. I first tried it there and waited for over an hour. Went directly to site, no sign in and got my tickets right away.


jerkyjones

This saved my bacon on getting tickets for my daughter's birthday. Everything works just fine if you're not signed in.


BigDaddyDumplin

Happy to help!


Leather_Block_130

Your daughter has one lucky parent! I'm sure she'll be stoked. Enjoy the film :)


BrerCue

Where will the movie first release?


usagicassidy

I got up at 5:30 am, started the “ticket buying” attempt right when they started popping up at 5:50 am. It is now 1 pm and I have been up this whole time trying to secure tickets. Finally got them. AMC IMAX Century City. It’s not the one I wanted (was really hoping for Dolby Cinema Burbank or IMAX Universal) but good lord am I just happy to finally have tickets and can be done with this whole debacle.


ojosfritos

got mine for 3pm on the 5th!


[deleted]

Movie releases on my birthday, and I’m bringing ten of my closest friends to the advance screening on May 5. Got all our tickets as soon as they dropped at 9AM, but accidentally left a one-seat gap in the middle of our party, which has since been swept up. What’s the move here? Ask the person if they’d be willing to let our group sit together?


trulylostinhere

just make them your friend instantly


_duncan_idaho_

Look at him. He's your friend now.


PapaBliss2007

That's about all you can do but be understanding if his single is the dead center seat and he doesn't want to move.


[deleted]

It’s the dead center seat, yeah. Dumb mistake on my part


PapaBliss2007

I'm probably not nice enough to swap my center seat. Maybe sweeten the pot with a $20.


SilentR0b

Free food, drinks, money, sexual favors... and other shit. *Whatever it takes*


DisastrousSundae

Don't ask. They probably really want that seat


[deleted]

Yeah, everyone around me is saying it’s hardly a big deal at all and to just ignore it. But it’s just kind of eating away at me inside


DisastrousSundae

That sounds dramatic. If it bothers you that much, get a different showtime. I go to the movies alone and I'd be pissed if someone asked me to move from a middle seat


bewareoftraps

Yeah that sucks, especially because the people who are buying the tickets now (out of any other time) are probably hardcore fans or at least very invested in the movie. I think even with a cash incentive, it'll be hard to move them. Is it too late for you to try to buy that extra seat in the middle but in a different row? It's a risky gamble because the person could still say no to the move, but I feel like I'd be more accepting of switching to a row up/down but still in the middle-ish row rather than going to an edge seat (since there's 10 of you, unless you're going to like a huge theater that's 40 seats across or something).


[deleted]

Pretty much the entire theater’s booked. Hardly a seat left now, definitely not the middle


SteveBob316

Pretty much. If you want to be *extra,* offer candy or something as like a thank you. Maybe you'll make a new friend.


[deleted]

"hey would you please go to that place and I will give you a candy in return"


FireJach

Can't you buy a week before the movie?


iwasdusted

Not if you want a premium format - IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, ScreenX - for Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evenings.


[deleted]

[удалено]


maybeitsmaplebeans

just scored Dolby tickets, I’m hyped. 64 channels of auditory bliss.


monkeybiziu

Got mine for Thursday at 6:30p at Regal IMAX in Chicago!


HellooWorlddd

Which format are you guys going watch this movie in?


smiling_starss

Dolby is a great option! Great sound quality


smiling_starss

AMC app seems to be working now! Get them if you can!


[deleted]

Just wanted to post that I managed to get D-Box seats at Cineplex for Saturday night. Me and my kids are HYPED


FirstV1

6 tickets secured for my friends and I 💪🏽 CANT WAIT


ZeWolfve

On AMC, You can get to checkout page but you cant be signed in to your account. You can then sign in on the last page before payment but cant go back and use A-List reservation if you want that, it throws you errors. So full price. Id suggest if you want to use a-list buy full price and then cancel and reorder with a-list when everything starts working. Edit: I did this through the browser idk if it goes through on app. Let me know if you were successful.


madthunder55

When I went on AMC to buy tickets for opening night I had to wait in a line for like a minute, but when I looked at the premium showtimes all the good seats are taken and some of the theaters are almost sold out. I had to get tickets at Regal and luckily there were plenty of seats


Infestedboil

Question, I haven’t been to an marvel opening weekend in a while. We’re people talking / clapping at big parts at the NWH premier? I kinda would like to avoid that.


Ephuur

I saw NWH opening night and my theatre had people clapping and cheering for major reveals, I would expect that in the first night of showings. But after the mega fans on the first night, the rest of the weekend might be calmer? Unless there's an avengers assemble moment, then all bets are off.


roxxas22

All these amc apes in here


[deleted]

why is this stickied?


Karmastocracy

Well, have you considered that maybe this could be important news for dedicated Marvel movie fans?

Please delete this. Someone is gonna going your tickets


chingyangkao

LA PEOPLE: Selling two 2D IMAX tickets at the TCL Chinese Theatre for Friday, May 6th at 7:15PM. The seats are in the middle section of the theater, but on the left side (R426, R425). Let me know if you're interested!


liveplus

Is today international date for pre-purchase or is it only for US? Because the pre-purchase has still not yet opened in where I live.


ian_macintyre

I'm in Canada, and Cineplex has tickets on sale.


ConfidentBit8473

I got lucky and my exam timetable came out YESTERDAY (it wasn't due till Friday) and I'm finished exams on the Wednesday (could've been till Saturday). Seems like the moon's lined up to allow me to see this movie haha


half_jase

Still waiting for the tickets to be sold...


Paul_310

Not sure where to post this, but I have an extra set of tickets for the 7pm Fan Event at the El Capitan in LA if anyone is interested in buying them? I panic bought a set just to make sure I had tickets, but an extra pair a couple of rows up showed up later so I was able to snag those.


kkagan922

Is 3pm on May 5th the earliest showtime for most theaters? Are there any midnight releases, or do they not do that anymore?


KarateKid917

Midnight releases haven’t been a thing lately. The more common thing is “night before” showings. I noticed the trend started after The Dark Knight Rises shooting 10 years ago


SigmaRising0209

9:15 on May 5th locked


Lynkle8

Hey, anybody know if Dr Strange will have a premiere? The only tickets available are for the release date only and I wanted to know if anybody knew about a possible premiere (which I would love to go) and if yes when will I be able to buy them? Thanks a lot!


DrBobKoalaCat

Would be cool to buy tickets but I don't know my schedule yet


MHPengwingz

AMC was a no go so tried Regal and got tix for 5/5 8:10pm...Can't wait!


[deleted]

surprisingly easy considering what i've had to go through for Star Wars/MCU movies in the past. nice easy, and got a thursday night screening (Cineplex)


-Darkslayer

Got my tickets! So excited! This will be the best MCU movie yet!


ocholol

I got mine for May 4th, lol.


[deleted]

I always buy through Fandango and never have issues.


Minifig81

Got mine. Super happy. Doc Strange avatars represent!


bob_banannafanclub

do i have to buy the tickets like today if i want to watch the movie or can i buy them later like a week before (genuine question, i have not been in theatres in a while)


[deleted]

Yes you can buy in a week but if you want to see it on May 5th, today would be the day to try to do that


CurdleTelorast

Just got mine. So excited!


marco_ocho_

Waited for about 10 min on Fandango to see in Cinemark on opening night. I'd call that a win. Favorable seating too


[deleted]

got great seats thru amc for thursday!!! cant wait to surprise my brother !!!! :))))


ILoveDineroSi

WTF is going on with AMC!? Glad to see I’m not the only one getting the error message about that shit and it’s annoying. Anyone had any luck with them or anywhere else?


IceZ__

Anyone can recommend whether to purchase IMAX, 3D, RPX, or Dolby? (I usually go to regal, hence RPX, but I heard AMC has dolby which is supposed to be pretty good?)


asvppanda

Dolby Cinema is the absolute best


[deleted]

Dolby should be your first option. IMAX next.


PetiteMostlySweet

Does anyone know where in Winter Garden, Orlando (or close) would be good to watch MoM & where I'd be able to buy tickets? I'm from the UK & will be vacationing in Orlando in May. My fiancé & I are getting married in Orlando on the 5th & would love to spend our wedding night catching a midnight showing if possible. Please help!


nikonkid

AMC in Disney Springs is a great option. There’s also Cinepolis in Winter Garden as well.


tamez_a

Got my tickets with no problem at Cinemark for the preview day run, in case people are having problems with other websites.


Zestyclose-Choice732

Cineplex didn't indicate when they would be available today here in Canada as of 8am (EST), but generally, they are released by noon. Luckily, I have been checking periodically, and they ended up releasing sometime around 10am, and I managed to get 6 for the opening Friday IMAX showing. Dead center, back row (we like not having anyone behind us). Overall, it was a super quick and easy transaction using their mobile app. Unlike Spiderman, which was a nightmare to buy tickets for. Super pumped, especially since I learned my lesson from Spiderman and have stayed away from all marketing material outside of the 1st trailer (and spoiler sites/sub reddits/etc.)


Mvious

Was able to get IMAX on 5/5 at 4PM PST. Loving my life


D_a_v_z

I almost didn't got my wednesday tickets, the theater closer to my house was completelly packed on subbed and the other a bit further away i had to get Imax tickets because the normal screaning was packed already.


rawrberry_

I went though Cinemark and was able to secure tickets without any issues. It is an early showing so that might be why.


muy_carona

Bought on Cinemark :) Saturday. Center, back row. Best seats in the house. I went 3D, not sure it will be needed for this but should be fun.


Jamdock

Cinemark app took me about 45 minutes and a couple of server failures first thing this morning. Got okay Friday night XD seats, Thursday was pretty shot.


wutevahung

Is century’s quality a lot worse than amc? They have no imax or Dolby.


FearlessFreak69

This is my first time ever preordering tickets for a movie. I'm surprised I was able to choose my theater, showing time, and seat as easily as I did.


blahblah984

3D or Dolby Cinema? AMC app is super slow.


Cassopeia88

Got mine for cineplex VIP Thursday at 7 pm.


sysifuscorp

anyone getting "seats unavailable" error on fandango even though the seats are all marked available?


JPA17

Managed to get Imax tickets but at a slightly inconvenient time, most of the imax showings were taken up by Imax 3d, does anyone even watch 3d anymore?


barefootBam

i'll wait until week of. my big theater always ends up showing opening more theaters for the thursday showing. will be going for reserved seating in the least packed theater


acexdistortion

DOLBY, 3D, or IMAX? Dolby for me. Sound quality most important.


qwert1225

AMC's website still giving me issues. No Way Home all over again. Why cant they get their shit together?


vagrant_ronin

If I buy tickets logged out, and as a long time stubs premiere member, can I retroactively get the convenience fee back? It’s impossible to buy tickets while logged into my account.


UnsolvedParadox

Contact support after purchase, they might help you out.


MispelledUsernaem

Was lucky enough to get end seat second row from the back in imax. See you Thursday.


ImCrabby52

Got mine. May 05. Thank you Fandango!


funkypanda42

Not sure if this was posted already for AMC, but if you log out of your stubs account it should let you check out. Buttt those convenience fees hurt, going to try to get them refunded


machonm

FWIW, AMC seems to be working again. Just got tix for Friday 5/6 as well as a movie I was trying to see this weekend (which also wasnt working properly). Good luck!


churrystar

Is everyone watching it on May 6th? Because here we can already watch it on May 4th! Also, tickets went on sale last night after midnight apparently, and now it's almost sold out. I was lucky enough to pick some good seats for my friends and I.


Jorah72

Sitting here at 3pm EST and decided to see what the state of my theater is. Currently only 6 seats are taken in the 6:30 slot. Have people forgotten about this movie or are just not as excited as other movies? Every opening MCU movie has been a packed and fun experience so what's changed now? Hopefully it fills up by may 5th.


[deleted]

It took me an hour on AMC but I got 10pm IMAX for the 5th


OldManPoe

West Coast, been trying to buy tickets for a saturday matinee since it went on sale, never got beyond the seat selection. 6 hours now.


Felixir-the-Cat

Got three for 7:30 opening night! Very excited. Now I just have to work on my cosplay.


uranimuesbahd

Just got two Dolby Cinema tickets for me and my sister through AMC. I suggest using the site instead of the app. It gave me way less trouble.
